dd thanks it was just a quick draft I tried. I'm practicing to get back into the rhythm of writing songs. I just had horrific flashbacks of checking my meter and counting syllables
I see your a bit rusty then
I'll have you oiled up real smooth
I'm not sure if we covered this earlier, but what is everyone's favourite song they've ever written? Or, if you're new to songwriting, what are your favourite one-liners?

I have a few favorites: Scarlet Bitch from PH6, Subway Boy (original, demo), Life Without You (original, demo)

Odyssey, Dance With the Ghost and Ocean Lips. And of course my intro

Evangeline
Staring into the abyss
The clouds so grey, I wish
There were no limits to life
Just a matter of time
'Til we recognise demise
Fading into the skies
But was I really worth it?
Treating me like your puppet
Did I ever deserve this?
Sucked dry, I'm so exhausted
Evangeline, you promised me
Happy memories for eternity
Evangeline, you left the scene
When I needed you most, Evangeline
Our time is up, ashes to dust
Evangeline, you just gave up on me
It's not the same without you here
Evangeline
Full of despair, the cold air
Whispering in my ear
Oh, I knew it was coming
But never thought so soon
And I didn't think this through
When I kept loving you
Sometimes I wanna decide
How I should say goodbye
Instead of it torn away
I wanna live in vain
Evangeline, you promised me
Happy memories for eternity
Evangeline, you left the scene
When I needed you most, Evangeline
Our time is up, ashes to dust
Evangeline, you just gave up on me
It's not the same without you here

Umm... I'm not sure but personally! Not in PH, it would be a very basic song that I wrote when I first started writing songs. Very very basic but I love it and it'll always have a place in my heart.

I wrote it just before last season
Ooh I like this a lot, the imagery is great.

Okay I wrote this pretty quickly (most of the time was spent looking for a synonym for "similarly" but I just ended up using that. ) and I think this will be the "interlude" to the My Kingdom Come intro.
Fireflies
I used to believe
It was only me
Who’d wander ‘round
So aimlessly
No certain course
Or sense of worth
No sight or sound
No identity
Then I realized
Like fireflies
We roam about
Similarly
So let us shine
The spark of life
Until we’ve found
Our destinies
I’d used to dream
It was only me
I’d wander ‘round
So aimlessly
No beaten path
No one who’d ask
If I’m alright
What’s haunting me
Then came the time
I found the light
It was inside
Inside of me
My firefly
No longer cries
I set it free
I let it be
So let us shine
Like fireflies...
I'm trying to work on adding more imagery to my songs, and I think this does a decent job at it. Obviously I could expand on it, but this particular song I think is fine as is.
